One Meter Chain Reaction (2025)
Participatory Performance | Duration: 40min | Presented at Huang Contemporary, July 9, 2025
This durational participatory performance invited six women from the exhibition audience to engage in an unrehearsed live interaction based on a set of simple pre-shared rules. Through mirroring, repetition, and intuitive response, the performers explored silent, embodied connections between women — connections that require no language, yet carry deep emotional resonance.
The piece culminated in an unexpected, collective gesture: participants naturally reached out, held hands, and raised them together — breaking the pre-established one-meter boundary without instruction, revealing the quiet power of shared experience and mutual recognition.
Heartfelt thanks to the six participants whose presence shaped the work: Fanglin Luo, Noemi Conan, Rulan Wan, Xici Qu, Yuxin Tang, and Shuting Da (Dastin).
This performance was part of a feminist-themed group exhibition at Huang Contemporary.
